login: usrxyzx  is in too many groups, using first 16

The above message happens when usrxyzx logs in.  Each user is give their
own group and other users needing access to the group are added to the
individual groups.  This seemed like a very good idea, particularly
after dealing with VMS's scheme.  Our planned expansion configuration
will require that serveral supervisors will have access to
many (more much than 16) user's data.

On examination of the /etc/group file, usrxyzx is listed in 15 groups
(including wheel).  Is this a real problem, I can't seem to find this
problem anywhere else, and the other users who are in the same number of
groups do not get this message.

Thanks,
